Just Checking In

It’s been a few months; let’s catch up. Marriage + Momming Things have been pretty good. In August we moved down the hall to a smaller unit. It’s over 1k less than what we were paying before, so we’re saving a lot of money. We don’t have any space, but surprisingly it hasn’t been annoying. […]
Dating While Social Distancing

So as we all know, the past couple of weeks have been crazy. Al has been working from the time he wakes up to the time he goes to sleep, and I, like most of the parents in America, have been thrown into instant homeschooling. Lots of schedule adjusting and figuring things out and worrying […]
Dirty Thirty

I have been meaning to write about this for a while, but unsurprisingly, I’m getting to it about a month later than I planned. Anywho, Al turned 30 last month!! I have almost known him half of his life! I wanted to throw him a big party to celebrate, but he really doesn’t like celebrating […]

So I’ve been wanting to make a travel map for Al for about two years, and I never got around to it. This year was the year. I was debating between doing a US travel map and a global travel map and wasn’t quite sure, and about a week before I bought the map Al […]

I think I start every blog by saying how bad I am at writing consistently. This is why I’ve never really kept a journal. It would basically be an utter waste of my time. Lol. At any rate, I think this should be expected by now. So let’s update on my life, and check back […]

Can I share a story with y’all about this man and how amazing he is? A few years ago his goal was to be a drill instructor, later be an officer, and after the military retire in DC. Immediately after we got married he went to drill instructor school and was at the top of […]

So it has been a while since I’ve written. I haven’t really been up to much, but Alvin keeps me busy. Alvin is so much fun. He is getting so big, and is so fat and cute. He’s basically perfect. He is the happiest baby, always smiling and making us laugh. Let’s see… Since I’ve […]
That Time We Got Engaged

Two years ago today, the hott guy in this pic asked me to be his wife. I had just had brain surgery 3 weeks prior and started radiation 4 days before. Felt so gross from weight gain, weight loss from steroids/surgery, being skinny with a belly lol. Felt so crazy from roid-rages (be grateful if […]
New Tattoo

Hubster and I decided for Valentine’s Day gifts this year we would both get phoenix tattoos. This tattoo means more to me than any other I’ve gotten so far. It represents the past few years, which have been both the hardest and best years of my life. Joy after depression. Good health after malignant cancer. […]

To my husband, Al: Today I wanted to do something super awesome for you. Clearly I am restricted due to the recent c-section… But even though we are spending the day at home, I hope that you have a great day, enjoy your gumbo & cheesecake, and enjoy the best birthday gift you have ever […]
